Abstract
A surface-treated polymer film is disclosed. The film has a polymer substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface and a primer applied to the first surface of the substrate. The primer is a cross-linked acrylic polymer or other suitable polymer. A method of insulating a surface with an insulation material constructed from the surface-treated polymer is also disclosed.
Claims16
A surface-treated polymer film comprising:
- a polymer film substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface;
- a primer applied to the first surface of the substrate such that the primer is exposed, the primer being a polymer;
- an adhesive directly applied to the second surface of the substrate;
- and
- a laminate applied to the adhesive, the laminate comprising at least one each of, in order:
- a base layer, a scrim layer, and a media sheet layer facing the second surface of the substrate.
An insulation material having an exposed primer surface, the material comprising:
- an insulation core having a first core surface;
- a laminate affixed to the first core surface, the laminate comprising:
- a polymer film substrate having a first substrate surface and an opposing second substrate surface;
- an exposed primer applied to the first substrate surface, the primer being a polymer;
- an adhesive directly applied to the second substrate surface;
- and
- a laminate layer applied to the adhesive, the laminate layer comprising at least one each of, in order, a base layer, a scrim layer, and a media sheet layer facing the second surface of the substrate.
A method of insulating a material, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a polymer film substrate having a first surface and a second surface;
- b) applying a primer to the first surface, the primer being a cross-linked polymer;
- c) applying an adhesive directly to the second surface;
- d) bonding a laminate layer to the second surface;
- e) applying a strip of self seal lap tape to a longitudinal edge of the laminate;
- f) applying the laminate layer over an insulation material such that the first surface with the primer is exposed;
- and
- g) placing the laminated insulation material over a surface to be insulated such that the first surface with the primer is exposed.
